Q:

Bianca calculated the height of the equilateral triangle with side lengths of 10. Then, she used the formula for area of a triangle to approximate its area, as shown below. Calculate the area of the equilateral triangle using the formula for area of a regular polygon, and compare it to Bianca’s answer. The apothem, rounded to the nearest tenth, is ---units. The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is ---units. Therefore, the area of the equilateral triangle is---- , or approximately 43.5 units2. The calculated areas are---
